Paul Simon – Cool Papa Bell (Guitar)

   G
It turns out to be

  C               D
A great thing for me

        G
I don't worry (and)

        C      D
I don't think (because)

G                  C           D
It's not my job to worry or to think

G       C
  Not me

D
I'm more like

G             C              D
Every day I'm here, I'm grateful

               G              C
And that's the gist of it

D            G            C          D
Now, you may call that a bogus, bullshit

       G         C
New-Age point of view

D                   G     C  D
But check out my tattoo

      G      C     D  G
As Cool Papa Bell

      C       D
Motherfucker!

C    G
Ugly word!

    C         D
Ubiquitous and often heard

C   G      C            D          C
As a substitute for someone's Christian name

            G         C          D          G
And I think yeah, the word is ugly, all the same

  C  D      C
Ugly got a case to make

             G      C           D
It's not like every rodent gets a birthday cake

C       G           C         D           C
No, it's, 'You're a chipmunk, how cute is that?'

        G          C           D        C
But you, you motherfucker, are a filthy rat!

                G     C  D
And well, well, well

           G     C      D
Is it true, Papa Bell?

                        G
That the beauties go to heaven

        C          D
And the ugly go to hell

          G      C  D
Cool Papa Bell?

                    G  C  D
Let the tubas cry!

         G
Have you all heard the news?

C       D
'Heaven Finally Found!'

G          C            D             G
Okay, it's six trillion light years away

          C         D              G
But we're all gonna get there someday

     C               D             G
Yes, we're all gonna get there one day

     C      D            G                 C     D
And, we all gon-na, get, we all gonna get, we...

         G        C
But, but not you

D
You stay and explain

G   C        D                 G
The suffering and the pain you caused

C          D               G             C      D
The thrill you feel when evil dreams come true

D                   G     C  D
